LSTHey everyone!
I snapped a branch very badly 4 days ago, i taped it immediately. One leaf died on that part of that branch but she’s recovering im sure because this branch started growing again. My question is how long should i wait before trying lst again on that branch?One week?Techniques. LST

LST clipsAm I using these clips right?
The branches are aiming downwards and literally laying on the clay balls. I did try to bend the clips out a bit so they're not bending at such a sharp angle but they've gone back to shape. Is this going to damage or stress her too much?Techniques. LST

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?Week 3

Training Automatics - best practices!Hi guys. How do you go about training automatics? Some say only LST, some don't hesitate to top several times and some say to just leave it grow by itself. I'd love to top'em a few times but I'm not sure. Please HALP! Thank you!

Are these plants ready for topping/LST? 2 have just gotten to 6th node and one to 5th (was planted 4-5 days after first two)Looking to top all three and potentially manifold at least one of these plants. Only concern is I just transplanted them in tuesday. They look great but I just want to make sure they are out of the woods on transplant shock before i start hacking away at them.Techniques. Topping
